Hope he's still got that security detail now that everybody knows his guns are gone.

If he's smart, they will only know that the guns that they know about are gone. Always have guns that they don't know about. Jack.

I would suggest the purchase of several highly trained Doberman Pinchers to patrol the perimeter of the home. I'm sure both lawyers could post an uplit 10x12' sign on the lawn outlining the legal risks of trespassing and other lawyer speak......works for P. Ditty.

Should have taken the wife's gun the way she was waving that thing around with her finger on the trigger. LOL

Already in possession of the couple's attorney.

they need to grab one of these off of ebay and have it holding a sign "trespassers will be shot" and watch the horde go insane.

That's why Jill and I have firearms and ammunition cached in several states. PVC pipe, end caps and waterproof glue can be had for short $$$ at any home-improvement store.

I wonder if this lefty lawyer has changed his tune yet.

Although somewhat disputed by historians, the "lawn jockey" statues are thought to have been an aid for the underground railroad when adorned with certain colors of ribbons.

Not sure how MO law works, but that warrant specifically described the two firearms they were holding in the video and nothing more. I didnt see any mention of "...and any other firearms" or anything like that.

Link for the warrant please...

Link for the warrant please...

I posted a kinda shitty pic somewhere. If I blow it up on my phone it's barely legible. Give me a few and I'll find it and post again here.

 

[In God We Trust]

I thought the gun laws in MO were pretty reasonable. Why exactly would they take their guns? They were not charged with anything to my knowledge

They took one gun. He has the money to quickly replace it.

Evidence for persucatory prosecution; not disarmament.

Mark McCloskey doesn't appear to be a hardcore lefty -- there are several "Mark McCloskey" entries in FEC records:

McCloskeys on both sides of political fence in campaign contributions

ST. LOUIS – Mark McCloskey straddles the political fence, contributing campaign cash to Democrats locally and Republicans nationally.

He's going to sue and make a bundle

More interested in discovery. Coordination emails between the DA and her handlers would be priceless. Watch her lawyer up with Perkins Coie.

There is a history to these lawn jockeys that I think many will find very interesting part of American history if you google LAWN JOCKEY

 

[HorizontalHunter]

It must have then them days to comb through the laws to find something and they came up with this:
“Unlawful use of weapon-exhibiting”

It just goes to prove that if you make enough laws everyone is guilty of something.

No, he’s not

The St. Louis couple charged with waving guns at protesters have a long history of not backing down

Mark McCloskey is almost always in conflict with somebody, typically over control of private property, what people can do on that property, and whose job it is to make sure

so you can have a gun but you can't use it.
